a TECHNICAL POINT.

"LaWyers and witnesses, as a general
thing, use all their tact in endeavoring to
get the best of each other during the course
of an examination" remarked a vel,
known lawyer in the hearing of a reporter
in the court house this morning, "but one
of the most laughable incidents that | can
remember occurred in an East Tennessee
county a good many years ago. A decid-
eddy sensational breach of promise case
vas being heard. and several of the big
guns in the legal army had been employed
on both sides, among the number a youth
full barrister from Knoxville, who was
then fresh from college, but has since at
tanned distinction as a jurist.
"The little town Of L. was in a state OF
feverish excitement; the Court House was
packed, and a bitter feeling existed be-
tween the opposing factions. The cross
examinations were trying the ingenuity OF
the counsel OH both sides, and very often
Judge H, who was on the bench, would
have to come to the rescue of either the
excited witness or the bathed interrogation.
"Reuben Barnes was put upon the stand
by the prosecution he had been employed
as q farm hand by the compliments IA
ther during the time the alleged courtshlp
was in progress, and OF course was sup
posed to have observed many things that
would have a bearing on the case. He
proved to be incorrigible, and was fire.
quently threatened with the jail unless ne
answered questions. The young lawyer
whom I mentioned vas conducting the
cross-examination, and q squabble ensued
between the attorneys as to the admission
of certain questions. Barnes got mixed
up in it, and when the attorney asked him
a question that he did not understand ne
aaked for an EXPLANATION.
".Mr. Barnes replied the attorney,
who was getting very angry, that IS a
technical point in law that you need know
nothing about. You will please tell the
court and jury what you saw with your
own ewes on the last Sunday evening in
May as you passed through the orchard to-
ward the calf lot
"tWali, I saw Dick and Sarah sitting
under an apple tree
"'What were they doing?'
".They 'peared to be sittin' longside OF
each other on an old sassafras stump
"sWas there anything in their actions
to indicate that they were engaged IN
more than a friendly conversation"
u,Well, yes,' slowly calculated Barnes,
while the whole court and spectators held
their breath, Il seed 'em gum-snckin', lally
gaggin' and sich.'
"FNow, SIR exclaimed the lawyer,
jumping TO his feet with an exclamation
of triumph, will you please tell me what
you mean by lally-gaggin'"
"That, SIR replied the witness, initial.
ing as far as possible, the pompous tone OF
his i~nterlocutor, is er t~eckernikle pint IN
counting that you needn't know nothing
aboutn -
ssIt was too much, even for sedate old
Judge H., and the scattering locks boooed
up and down on his bald pate as he screen
cd his face behind q law book and laugh
ed until he cried. AS for the crowd-Well,
as soon as the Judge could regain his sell
control, court adjourned for dinner"

THE BEE STING.-Their weapons often
protect them from their enemies, but with
wild bees, especially the Honey, or Hive
bees, at the approach of winter, the Drones
or males are no longer Of any use, and are
killed off by the stings of the workers, to
save the stores of honey they would other
wise consume. With many of the Wasps
their stings are food preservers. The large
wasps which make their holes in the
ground, and some bees, like the Carpenter
Bees, which cut holes in boards, or other
wood, deposit an egg in n of these holes,
place food for the grub that will hatch from
this egg to feed upon, and when this grub
has made its growth, it goes into a chrysa-
lis state, and in time comes out a perfect
bee, or wasp, as it may be. But you will
ask, "what has this to do with the sting ?"
A great deal. If the caterpillar or other
insect, intended as food for the young bee
or wasp, were dead, when stored away, it
would decay and be useless. The effect OF
the poison of the sting is to keep it in a
semi-torpid existence, alive, but dormant,
and thus preserve the food in a prOpercon-
dition to be eaten by the grub of the bee or
wasp. In this respect we can see that the
sting plays a very useful part, but when
the sting is employed upon ourselves, we
fail to see what good end is accomplished.
Even when a bee-keeper is doing his best
for the comfort and welfare of his bees,
they will often turn upon and sting him,
most needlessly and painfully.-AnuScan

A Home Of Your Own.

no matter what may come TO them in
after years ore in which each ro5u1. in
process of time. will become endeared
through its associations. Il may seem
far away in the distance al first. but
persistent thought and effort in that di-
reetion will bring It 70 pass in time, and
much sooner than at arst seemed proba-
ble. Necessity or expediency may make
renting the only thing to do for a time.
but / still adhere to the opinion that ft
is the truest teconomy and highest wisdom
to get home Of your own at the earliest
practicable moment.
These peTipatetic people have rarely
much of value that they can call theirs.
for. in t5s very nature Of things, they
could not have. The family lack the
sense Of permanency in regard 10 a home
which is always so desirable, and esps-
cially when people are upon the down
hill side Of life. While young and Wig

going on in the world, its absence is not

know a couple who boarded for some
yeaTs after their marriage. then rented a
house and went TO Housekeeping. They
lived up TO every cent of their income

they concluded to have a home of their

gage on it to secure the builder. and
paid for it in monthly instalIments. The
undertaking caused a complete change
in their way of living. without being
niggsrdly, they looked closely after ex-
penses, and found that they could enjoy
life just as well as ever. and even better
than ever, because they had a definite
object in view, which absorbed their
thoughts, and for which they were plan
ming froB aay to day. They did without
many little luXuTies to which they had

Girls as HOusekeepers.

AS girls pass into their teens, some
most sensible mothers give each daugh-
ter the full care of the housekeeping for
a week at a time, of course guided by
their mothers supervision and judgment
as TO the marketing and expenditure
This is an excellent arrangement, and
one Of the most important items in their
education. There is no greater mistake
than feeling that domestic labor, when
necessary, or the knowledge Of it in all
positions, must he incompatible with the
highest degree of mental culture or re-
anement. No women stand so high in
position CT elegant accomplishments as
those who honor themselves and their
husbands by a thorough knowledge and
oversight Of all domestic duties.
No one can hope to hire those who will
bring the best taste, the incest attention
to order, ueatness and economy in little
.hings. into the kitchen, together with
q correct knowledge of preparing the
simplest meal in a beautiful and attract
i've manner end yet all these united
have a wonder nj power toward making
home-Ife happy and prosperous. And
the absence Of these charms-caTeless
housekeeping, an untidy and unattract-
i've home and poor coOking-have driven
many a husband to seek comfort and
happiness elsewhere.
Those things which constitute the true
charm Of a home cannot be bought or
secured by the labor of hirelings. 1t is
only the mistress of the hOuse-the wife
and mOther-thIOugh her love and union
OF interest with her husband and child
rem, who, guided by her affection, will
labor to bring that charm about her
household which springs from systemat-
iC labor, scrupulOus neatness and econo-
my. a fipely-appointed table, with food
daintily prepared and served with exqui-
site neatness and taste. No lady of the
highest talent or accomplishments need
feel that she demeans herself by giving
her most earnest attention to the beauty
and comfort of her home and the careful
ordering OF everything connected with
the kitchen department. Low down as
foolish ideas of gentIlity have been &C
customed to place that department, it
has much more to do with the comfort
or discomfort, the peace and happiness,
or the discord and evil temper, of the
whole family than can be gained from
elegant OF fashionable parties, and all
that etiquette demands in fashionable
life. No girl, whether from the lowest
OF the highest position, is ct to become
a wife-a mistress of a house-who has
not been carefully educated in all the
accomplishments and minute details of
the kitchen.

Scientific Farming Pays.

Farmers are gradually awakening to
the fact that scientific farming under
practical control pays, and that in the
near future extensive Farming will be
the only kind that viii stand the moue7
test. The richest soils under crude eul
ture and poor management fail to pro-
duce as profitable returns as do worn
out soils cultivated by improved meth
DDS. In substantiation of this state
meut is the fact that the average of the
last five harvests in the West was TWEEN
tv-uine and a fraction bushels of cepeals
per acre. while the New England states,
with good culture and liberal applica-
tfou of fertilizers, yielded thirty and
fraction bushels per acre. The work
of progressive men like Parish Furman,
who increased the yield on sixty-tour
acres of scrub land from eight to one
hundred bales Of cotton by extra cul-
ture and generous manuring, is doing
the whole country a service. But hs
is not alone in the good work In all

salt and pint of meal, stirring while it
is slowly being poured in; ; continue the
stirring until the meal is ditfused thro'
